About ‘Floral still life with watch, Abraham van Beijeren’
Floral still life with watch, Abraham van Beijeren (1621)
Abraham van Beijeren painted only three flower arrangements, which stand out for their loose style - in contrast to the smooth, precise technique of contemporaries.
Even more striking, he does not show brightly colored flowers in full bloom, but a bouquet in moody tones that is past its prime. The pink poppies hang limply down.
Together with the open pocket watch - a symbol of the passage of time - this painting evokes a sense of transience. The nearly spent flowers are a metaphor for the brevity of human existence, giving Van Beijeren's seemingly simple floral still life a deep, serious meaning
